Every M4 handguard I've ever messed with has some side to side play as do most AR handguards. Any easy remedy is to cut "100 MPH"(OD Green military do it all tape 0r use duct tape) tape into the shape of the four sections on the HGs that lock in with the hanguard cap towards the Front sight tower. about two or 3 layers of tape in those four spots should eliminate most to all play. |

This is BS. Colt is perfection.

The man asked for help- not a pot stirring. Jeesh! It's always somebody. We need a dedicated Colt bashing forum.

That would be AWESOME! Kind of like Ed Sr's Bear pit... but for Colt bashing.  |

you seemed to have answered your question...
just get a new set of handguards. This is a normal occurrence on shorty handguards |

The problem with that is once the facts started flying you guys would run out of things to say and resort to stuff like, "Colt sux.".

I know...I know...I'm trying like hell to stay out of these things... At least it was the handguards that were loose and not the carrier key.

My Bushmaster handguards are extremely loose... this is on a brand new rifle as well (non-carbine)

I would worry about it or care about the handguards shaking a little. But the duck tape idea is great for those who want to do it

Put a small dab of jb weld on the square notches on the front of the handguards. File to fit. Some handguards have a slightly larger notch than the square keeper on the front handguard retainer; that`s where the play comes from.

Isn't this looseness good for accuracy because the handguards are sort of free-floating?
